i travel the world working to help people everywhere take part in the global economy, and we never lose sight of the fact that iranians deserve this no less than any other people. america's goal is to change the iranian leadership's calculus. we have worked with the p-5 plus 1 to put a credible offer on the table. if there is a viable diplomatic deal to be had, we will pursue it. and should iran finally be ready to engage in serious negotiations, we are ready. when iran is prepared to take confidence-building measures that are verifiable, we are prepared to reciprocate. what we will not do is talk indefinitely. the window for negotiation will not stay open forever. president obama has made that clear, and by now i think it should be clear this is a president who does not bluff. he says what he means, and he means what he says. the second shared goal i want to discuss is this -- now that rocket fire from gaza has stopped, america and israel have to work together with partners in the region to turn the ceasefire into a lasting calm. now, we have no illusions about those who launched the r

, and in fact it hurts the economy? >> that's right. you can go back and look at the writings of others, who would have opposed president obama's approach. it was identified early on that business cycles, recessions and recoveries tend to be driven by investment. consumers are pretty steady, but investment can be wildly fluctuating. it can go way down and way ut. so his view of stabilization policy was to try to stabilize investment and not to focus on consumption. one reason why we have had such a disappointing recovery, we haven't addressed why investment is so weak. we are an unattractive place to invest right now. >> some would say why don't you accept the higher tax rate? it doesn't help the economy. it hurts it. it is a serious proposal. i have always disagreed with some of your issues, but i think you are right that there are things holding down the debt ratio. are we acting to find a sustainable path forward on them. that will be more important than in fact number on discretionary spending or tax cuts themselves
